Kevin's eyes slowly opened and the first thing be became aware of was the chilly air in the room he was in. And as his brain slowly dusted off the cobwebs from his sleep, Kevin was stunned by what he saw, instead of a lavish mansion bedroom he saw nothing but darkness. Kevin was very confused (and somewhat scared) mind was trying to figure out what was going on. But his train of thought was cut short when Kevin heard the sound of a dog whimpering. And as Kevin listened on he began to piece together a few things the thing in this room was excessively crying (by the sound of it) and was whimpering.
The prince mentally groaned the person was Mocho Smoreline no doubt about that. Kevin tried to speak but he realized his mouth (and eyes) we're tightly covered by some sort of cloth preventing his eyes or mouth from opening. But after a few moments Kevin heard a door open and the prince tensed up, Mocho's whimpering stop, and Kevin could hear Cinnamon's muffled demands and curses. But when Kevin didn't hear Lucy he began to worry, was his sister hurt or worse? But Kevin was torn from his thoughts when he heard footsteps approaching him and felt someone reach at the back of his head.
The prince tried to jerk away from the contact but whoever was touching him smacked the back of his head forcing Kevin to stay in place and after a few moments the prince felt the cloth removed from his eyes. It took a moment for Kevin's eyesight to adjust to the light but when it did he saw Hue walking over to Mocho. And it was then Kevin saw that Mocho's wrists had white bracelets on them, he wore a white hospital gown, and his hands and neck we're connected to the wall by a chain. Kevin looked at himself, Lucy, and Cinnamon to see they all we're in the same restraints, clothing, and accessories. The prince didn't dare speak trying to figure out what was going on and where they we're but mostly because he was glad his sister was okay and didn't want to jeopardize her safety (Kevin had already caused his sister enough grief).
Kevin watched as Mocho yelped through the cloth over his mouth and began to cry even harder making the already soaking wet cloth ever his eyes leak from oversaturation on his tears. Cinnamon's ears twitched hearing her brothers distress and began to spew out more muffled curses as she struggled against her binds, Hue scoffed at this taking the cloth off from Mocho's eyes and mouth. The hybrids eyes adjusted to the light and he looked heavily confused and afraid tears pouring from his eyes like a facet. But Mocho didn't beg or cry out he was above that (but mostly it was because his sister would go on a murder spree if she thought someone had hurt him). The male hybrid looked over to his sister and blushed shaking his head, he wondered how Cinnamon could have gotten such a filthy mouth.
The next twin was Lucy as Hue began to advance onto her, Mocho and Kevin tensed up but all Hue did was undo the binds over her eyes and mouth as all Lucy did was flinch slightly. Lucy looked up at the man with a confused (and somewhat scared) look but didn't say anything. Hue then walked over to Cinnamon and much to everyone's shock he slapped the female hybrid. Cinnamon yelped in pain her demands and curses stopping for a quick moment,
"H-Hey! What di-did you do that for y-ya—" Mocho started but he was silenced with a swift slap across his cheek the sound echoing across the room and leaving a red mark (just like his sister's). Mocho let out a short scream of pain and fear as tears built in his eyes. Cinnamon heard this and immediately started her muffle curses back up again. This time however Hue kicked the female hybrid straight in the gut the made Cinnamon gag and it sounded as if it had knocked the wind out of her as Mocho visibly cringed. Hue smiled before removing the cloth from Cinnamon's eyes and he was met by a pained and steely glare but she didn't insult the man or curse at him literally biting her tongue to prevent her onslaught of a verbal whamming.
Hue smiled,
"Well it's good to know your smart enough to know when to stay quiet, but we're gonna have to do something about that mouth of yours." Hue said before walking in front of the children. "And you there, having that cloth off your mouth during my speech is a gift, I don't want anymore lip or I'll take care of your insolence." Hubert said pointing to Mocho who shrank under the gaze and nodded almost as if he respected the man, which was highly plausible to be fair. The children remained silent for a moment before Hubert snapped his fingers and at the same time the restraints that held Lucy, Mocho, Kevin, and Cinnamon undid themselves and a large white ring appeared around them. Cinnamon snarled and lunged for Hue but as soon as she left the white ring it turned red and the female hybrid was met with an electric shock, the female hybrid screamed out as red volts of electricity went through her body. Kevin, Lucy, and Mocho watched with wide-eyed expressions of horror as Cinnamon (purely on instinct) retreated back into the circle the small of burning flesh, chocolate, and cloth filling the room. Cinnamon took deep breathes before sitting down wincing as pulses of pain went through her body, her ears and tail drooping.
"Ah and I was just about to explain the rings, they we're a very old method used in Sugar Rush to keep dangerous people in a confined space, the method however was soon revoked the state saying it was cruel to anyone no matter what they did or what mental handicaps they had. You see as perfectly represented by Cinnamon, even a few toes out the ring and the victim will be met by an electric shock, anything more will be deadly." Hue explained, and all the children seemed to cruel into themselves to prevent any part of their body from leaving the ring. The man chuckled,
"Oh, to be a kid again, so scared yet curious of the world around me. Anyway, you are all probably wondering what you are doing here and where you are. We'll your in an underground bunker in the game new Fallout, where I come from. In translation, your in my game now which means no regeneration. And I need you all four for a few…..tests I have planned out. Also those white bracelets cancel out your powers making them unusable and you can't take them off. And if you try to escape this place has cameras and built-in traps to prevent your leave, if you somehow manage to leave this bunker…..then your as good as dead. This games environment harbors radiation in the air we're also in the middle of nowhere far away from the game exit and any form help, so you'll probably mutate or drop dead before you even get a quarter of a way to the game exit let alone safely. So your stuck here unless I let you go, now does anyone have any questions?" Hue said and Kevin, Mocho, and Lucy rose their hands as Cinnamon glared at the man. Hue pointed to Lucy and Mocho,
"Where is my necklace!?" Mocho said.
"Where are my bracelets?" Lucy asked,
"Huh, that's the first thing you ask? Your more attached to those items then I thought, don't worry I sent your things back to your parent's abodes including the brats precious motocross bike." Hue replied before pointing to Kevin.
"Why are you doing this? Are you some sort of kidnapper?" Kevin demanded,
"None of your business. And yes and no." Hue said before he snapped his fingers again and two men and two females came inside the room. The first man was very buff having dark skin, blue eyes, and a black buzz cut on his head. The second man was white, had brown eyes, and blonde hair, he wasn't nearly as buff as the first bit be still was plenty strong. The first lady was mixed, had green eyes, and long flowing brown hair. And finally the second lady has such dark brown skin she nearly looked black, she had black eyes, and was a red head having her hair cut short.
"These men and woman will be your…..caretakers in a way. They will give you food, heal any of your injuries, lead you to the bathroom, discipline you when you misbehave and when I can't, and they'll catch you if you try to escape." Hue explained as the children looked at the four strangers warily, "The man with the buzz cut is Bo, and he has been assigned to you Kevin. The man with blonde hair is Timothy or Tim for short and goes to Mocho. The lady with brown hair goes is Brenda and goes to Cinnamon. And the lady with the red hair is Angel and she is assigned to Lucy. Your caretakers know what your personality type is, your likes and dislikes, your allergies, your diets and what foods you like, and more so you'll find it very hard to lie to them." Hubert said and the children looked at their apparent caretakers with uncertainty. The caretakers then walked over to their respective child and placed food in front of each of them. Mocho got a plate of three carrots and a bottle of nuka-grape, Kevin got a plate of potato crisps and a bottle of sunset sarsaparilla, Lucy got a plate of three sweet rolls and a can of Deezer's lemonade, and finally Cinnamon got a mirelurk cake and a can of vim. Cinnamon turned her nose up at the food,
"It's either this is you starve Cinnamon." Hue said and the female hybrid growled. Lucy then raised her hand and Hue pointed to the princess.
"Uh….this stuff is safe….right?" Lucy asked,
"Yes, and that reminds me of the rules. You all don't talk when I'm taking, you only to talk to me when I address you or after you raise your hand, you are to eat anything I give you, you are not to stay up past ten, you may not leave this room without the aid of your caretakers, and if you need anything call for your caretakers and they will arrive. Is that understood?" Hue said and Mocho nodded while his fellow captives begrudgingly muttered agreements. Brenda then undid Cinnamon's cloth around her mouth and she snarled her nose flaring in anger and defiance. But she didn't say anything, grinding her teeth to prevent words from escaping.
"Good, now be sure to behave." Hue said, and him and the caretakers left without another world being spoken.
The door shutting with a loud slam.
